Mechanical Tests (Shock & Vibration)

The importance of simulating transport phases.

When a finished product is ready to be placed on the market, the manufacturer must ensure that the packaging — compatibly with the distribution methods — allows the goods to reach their destination with the highest level of integrity, reliability and safety.

Packaging is a fundamental element — its function is to create protection between the product and the external environment, i.e. the events occurring throughout its distribution cycle.

The easiest way to obtain information about the performance of packaging during transport is to carry out packaging tests in accordance with the most common reference standards (ISTA, ASTM, ISO, MIL-STD, etc.).

The packaged product undergoes a series of tests designed to simulate the static and dynamic stresses to which it is potentially subjected during the transport cycle: drops during handling, vibrations caused by transport and the loads it bears during storage.
